Lambda Synthetics shared this overview of Wavetable Designer – a browser-based tool for creating custom wavetables.
Wavetable Designer lets you create wavetables using a chain of generators. Sources add a new waveform and effects modify the signals created by previous generators.
To quickly create sonic changes in a wavetable for each parameter, a value can be set for the first and last wavetable: all cycles in between are then generated automatically.
A built-in audio preview lets you test your custom wavetable. Then you can export it for use in a variety of wavetable synthesizers.
Wavetable Designer is free to try, but you need a €15 license to enable exporting.
CDM shared this audio demo of BattleFX, a free multi-effect plugin from Unfiltered Audio.
Here’s what the developer has to say about it:
“BattleFX was created to satisfy the common request of a dedicated plugin for the send effects in Battalion. The famous “Shatter Delay” and “Headspace Reverb” can now be used on any track. We have included a fully-featured set of mix controls, as well as Solo and Mute, so that you can hear or use each portion individually. Included is the Maximize and EQ section from the Master portion of Battalion, which have quickly become a signature sound of the device, and something fans have requested to use elsewhere.
Versatile enough to be used as both a utility-tool and full creative effect, it is the right squad-partner to keep always at your side in the field and trenches.
In addition, we have added a system for automatically choking the delay and reverb buffers at repeating intervals, including a Euclidean pattern knob. These can be tempo synced or free, controlled independently on reverb and delay, and even nudged slightly off of the beat in either direction. You can use this to create complex, organic ducking patterns, especially in conjunction with a noisy input and the Maximize knob turned up.”
BattleFX is available now for Mac and Windows as a free download.
Overload Audio has introduced MOODYSIX for Mac and Windows, a 6-voice s0ftware synthesizer modeled on the 1981 Korg Polysix.
Like the original, it features one oscillator per voice with saw, pulse width, and PWM waveforms, a sub oscillator, the iconic SSM2044-style 4-pole lowpass filter, and the legendary chorus/phaser/ensemble effects section.
MOODYSIX also includes three classic Polysix hardware mods:
NoisySix — Adds white and pink noise generators plus an extended MG (LFO) with triangle, saw up, saw down, square, sample & hold, and noise shapes. Variable pulse width for the square LFO.
Polysex — Pitch envelope modulation with polarity and reference controls. Voice spread with EG and LFO modulation for thick detuned sounds.
ModyPoly — Smooth portamento/glide that works properly across all voice modes including unison.
Features:
6-voice polyphonic with poly, 2-voice unison, 3-voice unison, and 6-voice mono modes ($1 per voice!)
Saw, pulse width, and PWM waveforms with dedicated PWM LFO
Sub oscillator (1 or 2 octaves down)
4-pole lowpass filter with resonance, EG intensity (bipolar), and key tracking
ADSR envelope for filter, amplitude and added pitch and voice pitch spread envelope
MG (LFO) with delay, routable to VCO, VCF, VCA as well as voice pitch spread, with additional MG shapes via the noise section
Chorus, phaser, and ensemble effects (Triple BBD-modelled)
Arpeggiator with up/down/up-down modes, 1/2/full octave range, and latch
Hold and chord memory
32 factory presets
Portamento with per-voice glide
MOODYSIX is available now as a free “Name Your Price” download.
